Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1185-1201, May 2026.ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Shedding light on melanins within in situ human eye melanocytes using 2-photon microscopy profiling techniques. [PDF]
, 2019 Choroidal melanocytes (HCMs) are melanin-producing cells in the vascular uvea of the human eye (iris, ciliary body and choroid). These cranial neural crest-derived cells migrate to populate a mesodermal microenvironment, and display cellular functions ...

ULK1 regulates melanin levels in MNT-1 cells independently of mTORC1.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Melanosomes are lysosome-related organelles that serve as specialized sites of melanin synthesis and storage in melanocytes. The progression of melanosomes through the different stages of their formation requires trafficking of specific proteins and ...
